Bungie Update:
As you’ve probably heard by now, Sony is acquiring the Destiny and former Halo studio Bungie for $3.6 billion. This surprise news comes just weeks after Microsoft announced it would acquire Activision Blizzard for close to $70 billion.
What else can we expect in the near future then? Even on the Nintendo front, it might be best to brace yourself for what’s to come – with Sony Interactive Entertainment boss Jim Ryan informing our friends over at GamesIndustry.biz to “expect more” in terms of PlayStation acquisitions.
Discord:
Discord is finally rolling out the ability to connect your PlayStation Network account to the chat app, following an announcement last May that it and Sony would “bring the Discord and PlayStation experiences closer together on console and mobile.” Right now, the integration is pretty limited, both in terms of what it can do and seemingly who has access to it, but it’s likely the first step for things to come later. Outside of its partnership with Sony, Discord is also working on an interesting account management feature that we’d love to see make it to everyone.
Linking your accounts will let your Discord friends see what game you’re currently playing on your PlayStation, and you have the option of adding your PSN ID to your Discord profile so that other people can easily add you on the service. According to Discord’s announcement post, it’s “gradually rolling out the ability to link your PSN account from Discord,” so it may take some time before you can use it — Discord says up to a week if you’re in the US, with other countries coming next week. (Two Verge staff members checked their Discord accounts, and the PSN option didn’t show up for them. Perhaps that’s understandable — Sony does have a few other things going on right now.)
State of Play
The first 2022 State of Play arrives later this week, and we’re all revved up for just over 30 minutes of new PS5 footage and gameplay details for Gran Turismo 7. Watch live February 2nd on Twitch or YouTube starting 2pm Pacific / 5pm Eastern / 11:00pm CET.
See you Wednesday!
